The final instalment of Christopher Nolan ‘s reboot has always seemed destined to be a huge hit, but now tracking figures appear to confirm that Christian Bale ‘s final appearance as the caped crusader could also be the most profitable.

Tracking takes into consideration a number of variables in an attempt to gauge interest in upcoming releases – and by all accounts it seems The Dark Knight Rises will be a phenomenal box office draw.

According to figures seen by Los Angeles Times, 64% of people questioned said they were ‘definitely interested’ in seeing the film while 22% listed it as their ‘first choice’ among upcoming releases.

These figures are almost identical to those of The Avengers, which set a box office record in May after taking $207.4 million during its opening weekend.
